As of today there’s a new way for you to get some of your careers questions answered and have your say about anything careers related – you can use our new Careers Forums. They are really easy to use as all you need to do is login in with your university username and password. Once in there, you can view the current discussions and categories, post a comment, or start a discussion.

The forums have been launched as an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have to fellow students and graduates, and to get advice from others who may be in the same situation as you (or have been in it recently). Discussion categories on the forums include: ‘Help! I don’t know what I want to do!’, ‘Applications, Interviews and Psychometric Tests’, ‘Job Hunting’, ‘Staying in Manchester’ and more.

When you’re in the forums, make sure to have a look at the short ‘House Rules and the ‘Getting started with the Careers Service Forums’ guides before you start. Apart from that, you’ll be ready to go and we hope that you find the forums useful!
